More herring and capelin were caught in 1966 because more vessels fished for them. At the beginning of 1967, there were 184 herring vessels over 100 gross registered tons (CRT). The average size was 193 CRT. Thirty-seven new ones (average size 318 GRT) will be built during 1967. But small vessels (under 100 GRT) decreased from 648 in 1964 to 577 at the beginning of 1967. Of 32 regis- tered trawlers (700 to 1,000 GRT), only 20 are being operated. Frozen Fish Production Drops Frozen fish production was about 85,000 tons in 1966, a 15-percent drop from 1965, when only 19 percent of freezing-plant capa- city was used. The 2 largest freezing-plant firms. Federation of Cooperative Societies and Freezing Plants Corporation, account for over 90 percent of total output. They pro- duced an estimated 49,000 tons of frozen cod fillets and blocks in 1966 (55,000 tons in 1965), 22,000 tons of frozen herring (27,000 tons in 1965), and 8,000 tons of animal food (9,000 tons in 1965). About the only encouraging development for the freezing industry in 1966 was the favorable Soviet market. Sales to the USSR were 12,500 tons (9,900 tons in 1965), up percent. The U. S. market absorbed 27,200 tons in 1966 against 28,200 tons in 1965, down percent. Fish meal production in 1966 is estimated at 178,000 tons (174,000 tons in 1965). Of this, herring meal was about 135,000
